Ramesh Chand Gupta & Co

Ramesh Chand Gupta & Co is located at 483 Khari Baoli. If you have ever been to Old Delhi, you know how Khari Baoli is. It’s the biggest spice market around, and we are right in the thick of it. The smell of chili and turmeric is everywhere here. Our shop is old, like most of the buildings in this lane. It’s been in the family for a long time. The address says 483, and you can see the name painted above the door. It’s a narrow place, but it goes back quite a way. We have sacks of goods stacked up high. You have to be careful not to trip over them. Every morning starts early here with the laborers bringing in the new stock on their carts. It’s a lot of shouting and moving around until things settle down a bit in the afternoon. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are. We sit on the cushions on the floor and do our accounts in the traditional way. It’s dusty and loud, but this is how business has been done here for generations. There is a certain way things work in Khari Baoli, and we are just a small part of that old tradition that keeps the city moving every single day.
